Thomas Mann is a great writer with but a single theme. In having but one theme he is not very unlike writers as different from himself, as different from each other. Amid a thousand variations one central and controlling thought, one characteristic attitude to the totality of things, will emerge from a close study of works of each of these. He was born in Lübeck of a family of patrician merchants such as he has shown in "Buddenbrooks." But his father, who, one may without impertinence assume, is at least symbolized by Thomas Buddenbrook, made an even more unusual and remantle marriage than Maim's character.
